Bungie Issues a Company Statement in Support of Roe V Wade
Bungie expressed its opinion on the possibility that the US Supreme Court might reverse Roe V Wade. This landmark decision, which protects the right of women to choose an abortion, has been overturned by Bungie.
It has published a statement on its website stating that it supports the reproductive rights Roe v Wade currently upholds.
The Destiny, a former Halo designer, responded to the leaked Supreme Court draft decision. This has sparked widespread protests and disputes throughout the USA. They began the release by saying: “At Bungie, we believe that every person has the right to choose their own path. That freedom is expressed in all aspects of our lives.”

It then immediately addressed the leaky decision, saying, “The U.S. Supreme Court’s leaked draft decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is a blow against freedom and an attack on human rights.”
Bungie stated that it had made an easy decision and that it would “safeguard the privacy and freedom of its employees” if the decision was not in line with company values.
The company stated that if the decision is made final, it will divide those who have the right to make healthcare decisions for themselves and those who don’t. This will have long-lasting consequences that affect all generations, regardless of socioeconomic status.
Bungie provided a list of organizations that support healthcare rights to close the statement. These included Urge and Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.
The polarizing nature of the debate was evident in the reactions to Bungie’s tweet featuring the statement. Some users applauded Bungie for its position, while others demanded season pass refunds.
Outside of the gaming industry, Amazon has made a similar promise to support staff who are forced to travel for abortions if Roe V Wade is overturned.
